lyrics

You tell me you are right
that I am wrong that you are wrong
But you’re wrong as I will write
in the lyrics of this song

Be a big boy not a big girl
don’t be precious sing along
it will be much more medicinal
than having a ding-dong

I was wrong I was wrong I was wrong again
I can no longer deny it or refuse to take the blame
I circumnavigated reason and disengaged my brain
And came up with a statement that was totally insane

I will not impart on a mission to save face
Providing you extend me your humbleness and grace
I don’t want any told-you-so’s or smug looks on your face
Just let the moment disappear without a mark or trace

You see I know that you were wrong
Cos you told a little lie
A lie you would embellish
Rather than deny

Now everybody’s doing
And no-one’s asking why
And you are in the detriment
Right up to your eyes

So rather than admit your fallous proposition
You tried to intimidate me into a confession
Now I want you to make a concession
If you wouldn’t mind

Now extracting your admission was like bending bars of steel
But now that you have made it tell me how do you feel?
You look like a person with a weight off their chest
And I have to admit to being suitably impressed

I know deep down that it really annoyed ya
And I have to admit that I enjoyed the shardenfreude
But at least in the future I wont need to avoid ya
Or turn the other cheek and all that metaphorical speak
